In the midst of a long and dreary winter quarter, the craving for comfort food is unavoidable. Ordering in pizza and wings is convenient for a while, but there comes a time to break the cycle. In bleak times such as these, we all need a little variety and some unique ways to indulge in our comfort food favorites. This recipe is easy to make, uses cheap ingredients, and is ridiculously fun to eat. Macaroni and cheese cupcakes will satisfy your cravings and put a new spin on mac and cheese – I think it’s about time we all graduate from Kraft.
